The play, set on a country estate in 1840s Russia, deals with a bored, older and married woman who falls for a younger man, her son’s tutor, who is idolized by the woman’s vulnerable ward. Meanwhile, the older woman is worshipped by a long-suffering admirer.

The company’s other shows this season include William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” starring Peter Sarsgaard, and Christopher Marlowe’s “Doctor Faustus,” starring “Sex in the City” star Chris Noth.
